The singer announced that he had been diagnosed with esophageal cancer in August during a promo for a TV show about his life called “Real Money.”
“What I don’t want to do is I don’t want to keep the fact that I have cancer from everybody,” Money said. “It’s not honest. I want to be honest with everybody. I want people to know that cancer [treatment] has come a long way and not everybody dies from cancer like they did in the Fifties and Sixties. Am I going to live a long time? Who knows? It’s in God’s hands.”
The singer was most known for his hits such as “Take Me Home Tonight,” “Two Tickets To Paradise,” and “Baby Hold On.”
